SEOUL, Feb. 3 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made an "important" decision regarding the communist state's security and sovereignty at a military meeting, a news report said Sunday.

The report of the military meeting comes on the heels of speculation that North Korea is poised to conduct its third nuclear test. The North has threatened to detonate a nuclear device in retaliation for the U.N. Security Council's resolution condemning its Dec. 12 long-range rocket launch.
